Symbiotic's liquidity restaking method for potential airdrop farming involves depositing LSTs or ERC-20 tokens into vaults (often via partners like Mellow, Pendle, or Ether.fi) to earn points. Users receive liquid restaking tokens (LRTs), maintaining liquidity while compounding yields and accumulating points—likely key for future token rewards (no confirmed airdrop as of late 2025).
Competition risks vs. EigenLayer: Symbiotic offers greater flexibility (multi-asset support, customizable slashing/rewards, permissionless design), attracting DeFi-native users and rapid TVL growth. However, EigenLayer dominates with ~75% market share, first-mover advantages, institutional focus, and mature AVS ecosystem. Symbiotic's openness amplifies slashing/systemic risks, potentially limiting adoption amid EigenLayer's convergence (e.g., ERC-20 support). Overall, Symbiotic challenges but trails in scale.
